‘The Grapes of Wrath’ at Bus Barn Theatre

HEY JOAD: Steinbeck's classic novel of humanity on the edge comes to life at the Bus Barn Theatre.

Driven from their homes by forces beyond their control, the working class are cloistered in tent cities—plagued by hunger, alcoholism and regularly harassed by local police. In many ways, the best banned book of 1939 resembles the Bay Area of 2019. Los Altos Stage Company presents Frank Galati’s adaptation of arguably the greatest of the Great American Novels—The Grapes of Wrath by Salinas author John Steinbeck. Follow the Joads as they flee their native Oklahoma and the devastation of the Dust Bowl in search of greener pastures out in California. Runs through May 5.
